I've been modelling, painting miniatures and wargaming since I was a wee lad in Swansea, this blog details some of my interests - I hope that you like it.
In 2010 I started a new modelling venture - building 40mm AWI/ACW terrain pieces and designing 28mm masters, which are then cast and available for sale from Grand Manner. - All original images and text are copyright of A. S. Harwood (Dampfpanzerwagon)

Highlander from Thunderbolt Mountain Miniatures - part two

Photo One - I commenced the main painting with light coloured washes.

Photo Two - These were refined with layers of both darker shade areas and lighter highlights. The Tartan has been started.

Photo Three - More work on the Tartan, The red uniform has been finished and some detail painting of the white strapping has now been done.

Photo Four - The white strapping has been finished and lightly washed. I enjoyed painting the loose stocking.

Photo Five - The groundwork has been painted, the ginger hair highlighted and more detailing to the uniform particularly the kilt.

About Me

Born and brought up in Swansea, South Wales, I now live in Droitwich with my wife Sue. My daughter Holly is now working as a teacher in Stourport. My son, Gary lives in Leamington Spa with his Wife Beckie and our two Grandsons Finley and Charlie, but I still think of myself as a 'Jack' (an in-joke known to those of a certain age who count Swansea as their home town). Like my Grandfather, my Father and Uncle, I have made models, painted toy soldiers and wargamed since I was a very young boy and now feel privileged that I have the time to dedicate to my hobby. This Blog is a great way recording how I have developed as a modeller, but it's not ALL about model making. I hope you enjoy it. Tony
